Recenzii
A resonant first novel. Beneath its genial surface, allusive undercurrents tug.
The sureness and poise of this first novel are as remarkable as the sharpness, oddity, and clarity of its feelings . . . Aransas is an elegant debut.
Harrigan’s eye for locale and its effect is superb.
Harrigan . . . has a sharp eye for observing man, beast, seashore, and town in a vividly drawn setting.
An ardent and elegant book, beautiful in its language, mature in its perceptions, noble in its sentiments.
A sensitive, enormously evocative first novel in a spare but warm prose style that immerses us in atmosphere as insistently as it does the plot . . . Harrigan is a splendid novelist.
Aransas has several surprises, including dramatic suspense, counterculture revisionism, and what must be considered dolphin revisionism. More, Harrigan has written an acute American regional novel.
